I with the drops were better ant the difficulty a bit higher.

for real.

it was fun first few times. end fight is dope. there's like uber hamstring, debuffs, and machine gun sundering. But, it's like 10~ runs on avg to make 1 item. now that item does have the flexibility to go into 2 slots, but if ever you need to change that item : it's 10 more runs. no backsies. you will have to make sure, very carefully, that the item is made for life. knowing turbine they will obsolete it in few months anyway.

at least shroud items can have augments unslotted from store.

im just tired of infi grind every time they have something new. cannith crafting is going to take me forever from lv 0. shroud doesnt even get run on orien anymore. now slavers grind.  jump out a fuking window, sev

Im really not feeling that quest either

too many traps, its annoying..

getting min lvl 8 heroic shit in LE is also pretty fucking annoying..

I got 8 shackles and 6 rings doing them each 1x. People were passing them because they dropped a lot.

There isnt much for decent named items in there either.
And all these new collectibles are needed to craft much higher than 380. (think i got to 382 idr)

Way too much of a grind...

Incorrect.  Turbine stopped using lube a long time ago.

Now they use sand. And they laugh their asses off, because we're still here.

Cool, that's a pleasant surprise

I prefer trash mobs with relatively lower HP, but with more dynamic tactics and/or damage.  Things that make the fights interested without being a total slog.  Which is what something like Creeping Death felt like.  Killing those Oozes and high HP trash kobolds was just mega annoying.

I think they need to look at AI and fight mechanics more and, to a lesser degree, pure damage output.  The mobs were hitting a little light.  Not that I want to get one-shotted, but there is a happy medium somewhere between 150 HP of damage at 200 PRR and 1300 HP of damage at 200 PRR. 

Also, I loved all the traps and unique elements.  But the traps were seriously weak.  That damage needs an amp up.  When my pally is getting hit for 60-70 points of damage from an LE fire trap (even with a 30% absorption going, 30 resist, and 150 MRR) that is too freaking weak.  That suggests actual base damage(before defenses) in the 300-350 per tick range.  Not super scary.

i.e., What champions were like before their first nerf. And yes, for that brief shining moment, all the quests were exciting.

It makes more sense to have a champions on/off switch than it does to have a streak pause. And it made zero sense to nerf them. It's like telling a story about Vikings who die of old age. You couldn't even jump the fucking shark right.

None of the febrile weaklings currently running around with crowns are able to put up enough resistance to call it a battle. They shall not be seen in Valhalla. I still mourn.
